Private Icon: Janet Jackson In Poetic Justice

Moviestore Collection/Shutterstock Fashion Decades later, Janet Jackson's '90s style still lives on. by Erika Harwood Updated: Feb. 20, 2024 Originally Published: June 16, 2020

It's been 27 years since Poetic Justice was released in theaters (and now available to stream on Hulu), but Janet Jackson's early '90s style still holds up. As Justice, her outfits were full of baggy jeans, crop tops, hoop earrings, and, of course, the hat, and can easily be recreated decades later.
